Q4148619 Inglês
Leia a resenha crítica do filme Joker, publicada no website da Rodgers Memorial Library, para responder à questão.




    Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) is a mentally ill man who laughs uncontrollably. He works as a clown, gets help from a social assistant, lives with his mother, and wants to be a comedian. As the movie progresses, Arthur feels betrayal from everyone around him, pushing him to a breaking point as his support system collapses.

   Joker is an unusual comic book movie in the sense that it is a character study. Inspired in part by Martin Scorsese films like King of Comedy and Taxi Driver, Joker looks at the need for affection and identity. This contrasts heavily with action-packed superhero movies. It’s a serious, disturbing movie that opens itself to critical thinking, not all of it pleasant as exemplified when Arthur, in a moment of exasperation, tells his social assistant “All I have are negative thoughts.”

   Usually, the Joker is defined by his relationship with Batman. Bruce Wayne (Batman’s real self) and his family play an important part in Joker, yet another rich family could be substituted without changing the plot much. Fleck’s journey is not as connected to his traditional comic book role as in other movies and the audience is challenged to ask if he is a villain or a victim.

Q3882375 Inglês

Leia o texto.


Harry had the best morning hed had in a long time. Harry was careful to walk a little way apart from the Dursleys so that Dudley and Piers, [as] they were starting to get bored with the animals by lunchtime, wouldn‘t fall back on Dudley and Piers‘ favorite hobby of hitting Harry. Harry and the Dursleys ate in the zoo restaurant, and when Dudley had a tantrum because his knickerbocker glory didn‘t have enough ice cream on top, Uncle Vernon bought Dudley another knickerbocker glory and Harry was allowed to finish the first. Harry felt, afterward, that he should have known the joy was all too good to last. After lunch Harry and the Durlseys went to the reptile house. The reptile house was cool and dark, with lit windows all along the walls. Behind the glass, all sorts of lizards and snakes were crawling and slithering over bits of wood and stone. Dudley and Piers wanted to see huge, poisonous cobras and thick, man-crushing pythons. Dudley quickly found the largest snake in the place. It could have wrapped its body twice around Uncle Vernon‘s car and crushed the car into a trash can – but at the moment the largest snake in the place didn‘t look in the mood. In fact, the largest snake in the place was fast asleep.

Q4150347 Inglês
   British workers are increasingly likely to work into their 70s, according to a research that found the cost of living crisis has left older people with little choice but to stay in employment. There were 446,601 people above the age of 70 still in work in 2022, a rise of 61% compared with 277,926 in 2012, said Rest Less, an online community for the over-50s that offers advice to older workers.
   While most of the over-70s workforce is male, the rise has been more significant among women, most likely in response to the gradual equalisation of pension ages between 2010 and 2020. Women were previously able to retire five years earlier. The number of women working beyond the age of 70 is up 66% since 2012, compared with an increase of 58% for men.
    Stuart Lewis, the chief executive of Rest Less, drew a comparison between older workers and King Charles, but acknowledged that most continue working “for very different reasons” to the hereditary monarch. “At the age of 74, King Charles is a fantastic example of someone who both enjoys, and benefits from, continuing to work post-state pension1 age,” said Lewis. “Our latest analysis shows that there are far more over-70s in the workplace today than a decade ago. Until Covid hit and life expectancy dropped for the first time in a decade, there were more people reaching their state pension age than ever before, which meant there were more experienced people in the workplace than ever before too.”
    Lewis said many of those reaching the theoretical age of retirement were staying in the workplace for lack of any other option. “Like King Charles, many of these people will have no choice but to work, although for very different reasons to the king. We see many older workers today who are struggling to survive amidst the cost of living crisis, with inadequate retirement savings meaning they must work in order to survive financially.” The state pension age in the United Kingdom (UK) is 66 for men and women but is due to start rising from 2026.

Q4149754 Inglês
     Some of the world’s leading artificial intelligence (AI) researchers are calling for a pause on research into AI, claiming that safety issues must first be urgently addressed. If not, the outcomes could be devastating for humanity. Others say any pause in development would not only be impractical to enforce on a global scale, but could also stand in the way of advances that could both improve and save lives.
     The AI that is currently available already has the power to radically alter society, in new ways that we are seeing every day. So how might it progress over the coming years? Are we on the brink of an artificial intelligence-powered utopia or dystopia?
     Firstly, technology has been automating jobs since the Industrial Revolution, though never before has it happened on this scale. Everyone from truck drivers to voice over artists are at risk of being replaced by AI. A recent study found that just over 30 jobs are considered safe from automation in the near future. They range from mechanics to athletes, though they represent just a sliver of the current labour market. While new jobs will be created, there is a significant chance that the majority of the population will be left jobless. This could either lead to:
     Utopia: A new leisure class emerges, living off a universal basic income funded by taxes on robots and the companies that operate them.
    Dystopia: Mass unemployment results in social unrest, similar to the way laid off factory workers trashed the machines that replaced them. With so many jobs at risk and the potential for huge wealth inequality, some fear it could ultimately result in societal collapse.
    Secondly, artificial intelligence is already contributing to major scientific advances, dramatically accelerating the time it takes to make discoveries. It has been used to invent millions of materials that did not previously exist, find potential drug molecules 1,000 times faster than previous methods, and improve our understanding of the universe. This could either lead to:
      Utopia: Cancer and all other life-threatening diseases are cured, leading to a new age of health and prosperity. Scientists are already using AI tools to make breakthroughs in longevity medicine, which aims to end or even reverse ageing.
     Dystopia: The same AI-enabled technology could be used for malevolent purposes, creating entirely new diseases and viruses. These could be used as bioweapons, capable of devastating populations that don’t have access to cures or the tech needed to develop them.

TEXT II


        Avicenna, Arabic Ibn Sīnā, (born 980, near Bukhara, Iran [now in Uzbekistan]—died 1037, Hamadan, Iran), Muslim physician, the most famous and influential of the philosopher-scientists of the medieval Islamic world. He was particularly noted for his contributions in the fields of Aristotelian philosophy and medicine. He composed the Book of the Cure, a vast philosophical and scientific encyclopaedia, and The Canon of Medicine, which is among the most famous books in the history of medicine.


        Avicenna did not burst upon an empty Islamic intellectual stage. It is believed that Muslim writer Ibn al-Muqaffaʿ, or possibly his son, had introduced Aristotelian logic to the Islamic world more than two centuries before Avicenna. Al-Kindī, the first Islamic Peripatetic (Aristotelian) philosopher, and Turkish polymath al-Fārābī, from whose book Avicenna would learn Aristotle’s metaphysics, preceded him. Of these luminaries, however, Avicenna remains by far the greatest.

Q4149992 Inglês



       Aarav Chavda has been diving off the coast of Florida for years. Each time he became increasingly depressed by the ever-growing empty spaces, as colourful species of fish and coral reefs continued to disappear. A significant reason for that disappearance is the lionfish, an invasive species that has boomed in Atlantic waters from Florida to the Caribbean in recent decades, and in numerous other places from Brazil and Mexico to the Mediterranean.
      Lionfish have no natural predators outside their native range — in the Indian and Pacific Oceans and the Red Sea — and are all-consuming, devouring an estimated 79% of young marine life within five weeks of entering a coral reef system. “You can see the impacts on the reefs when you dive now — it’s less vibrant, it’s less noisy,” Chavda said. “We know there are solutions for some of the problems — such as coral- -friendly sunscreens to help protect the reefs — but nobody’s been able to do anything about the lionfish.”
   So Chavda and a team of ecologically aware fellow scuba enthusiasts decided to act by establishing a company called Inversa, which turns lionfish into a new product: fish leather. Chavda, 27, and his childhood friend from Texas, Roland Salatino, set up the Florida-based company to make the leather. They process the fish hides1 by tanning them with drying agents and dye them before selling the leather to partner companies to fashion into high-end products including wallets, belts and handbags. Fish skin is thin but, because the fibre structure runs crossways, it is stronger than many other types of leather. Each hide, Chavda says, can save up to 70,000 native reef fish.
      The hides are also more sustainable than traditional animal leathers, which generally require grazing on huge amounts of pasture — degrading soils and producing high carbon emissions. Inversa does not hunt the lionfish itself. Instead, it relies on educating and encouraging largely poor fishermen and women in often remote places to catch them. “We’re really sort of empowering the consumer and fashion by doing something for the planet — then we empower dive communities in fishing cooperatives to do something for themselves,” Chavda said.
